Let Her Go
Dougie MacLean
Little darling
I see your tired and empty eyes
and the pain of a life that’s broken
Little darling
Though everybody tries,
no the door it will never open
Let her go, let her go
Set her free and let her go
Her mother whispers soft and low
Just set her free and let her go
Just a little flower
That’s wilting in the cruel haze of fate
and of time’s survival
Just a little girl
Who has no more time to wait
for mysteries cool revival
Let her go, let her go
Set her free and let her go
Her mother whispers soft and low
Just set her free and let her go
And so we shout our anger
And we shout our shame
but we’re sure no-one will hear us
And so we take the burden
And we take the blame and
hope she’s always near us
Let her go, let her go
Set her free and let her go
Her mother whispers soft and low
Just set her free and let her go
